Granddaughter Loves this shoe!!
We are on our 2nd pair of these. My 22 month old granddaughter just loves them. They are very light weight for little legs to pick up. I am assuming they are super comfy because she will get them out herself when I tell her to get her shoes. (And she has lots of shoes.) She can put them on by herself as well, which we both like. She currently has three types of Crocs, but these are the go to pair.
Great Shoes for my son
My 8 years old son only wears crocs. These are his shoes/sandals by choice. I bought same shoes last year and he is wearing it to school, park, shopping everywhere. Those shoes are starting to small for him as he is outgrowing it. So, we bought him another pair in one bigger size. He loves his crocs.

Grand Lake Mariner veteran Mike Stalowy participates in an annual tradition of milking cows on Farm Night sponsored by the Celina Insurance Group on Thursday evening at Westview Park's Jim Hoess Field before the Mariners took on the Anderson Servants in Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League action. Stalowy lost to the Anderson milker in a tight competition, but Grand Lake got the last laugh with a 5-3 win on the field over the Servants.

I was just thinking about unique voxel environments again, and I got this idea based apon raytraced displacement mapping.
Say you have a 1024x1024 chunk of terrain (in a small *detailed* space, to fit say 4x4 men), and you render an inverse cube at its location and draw worldspace coordinates.
If you start from the eye position and trace a ray to the back of the cubes worldspace coordinates you make a ray which can intersect a heightmap, and give you a voxel output.
So, then add 5 more layers of heightmaps (a bottom a top a bottom a top a bottom and a top) and you can have overhangs, with 6 layered displacement maps which are raytraced.
What you have now is a model which has no side information, so detect when you hit a side (a position thats between a bottom and a top) and access one of 4 normal maps for what side it is, and draw the side detail for that chunk.
So, then just add more than one chunk, maybe even stream unique chunks for a large map, and you have another system for a voxel environment, do you think this is a good idea?
Youd make the map by placing transformed hipoly kit models, I imagine, with additions and subtractions.

Though luxury hotels, large marinas, and deluxe villas now dot Sardinia's once-pristine northeastern coast, the area still offers "much aesthetic appeal" thanks to the smart decisions and clear vision of regional planners. Regardless, the coast is primarily "a playground for tourists" that isolates them from local Sardinian culture. There is also "far too much car traffic for it to maintain any degree of environmental quality."
Here is a representative sampling of additional anonymous comments from the panelists. They are not necessarily the views of the National Geographic Society:
"The proliferation of tourist resorts isolates Costa Smeralda. They are not connected with the island's cultural dimension, and they don't benefit the local population. That said, it is possible to feel that you are in a zone without tourism because some of the resorts are hidden in forest."
"Implementation of a clear destination vision throughout the past few decades has provided some protection from opportunistic development. While access is largely confined to an affluent clientele, the visual amenity is largely positive and the ecological impacts have been manageable. There remains a perception, however, that the area does not welcome local Sardinian people and is a foreign enclave."
"Second-home communities and resort development have turned this region into a caricature of itself. The entire town of Porto Cervo looks more like a shopping mall/retirement community/country club in Arizona than an authentic Sardinian village."

Social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn are some of the most powerful tools available to recruiters today. Your company may see the potential for social recruiting or may be using tools today, but a social recruiting strategy needs to be part of overall company goals and objectives to deliver true return on investment (ROI). If you're not sure where to start, this paper will outline why social recruiting is becoming an imperative for companies today and how you can get started in reaching highly qualified candidates and passive job seekers while building company brand recognition and reducing sourcing costs. While social networks can give recruiters a competitive edge in locating and engaging the best candidates available, adding these new sourcing options also brings potential legal pitfalls. Organizations need to be aware of these risks and how to mitigate them while leveraging this important tool to reach your recruiting objectives.

Screw-Out Deck Plate
The Beckson Screw-Out Plate was designed to provide access without the use of tools, with a single start non-jamming (no cross-thread), extra strong, self-cleaning buttress thread. They incorporate a self-aligning center and an innovative gasket to assure a watertight seal. A back-up sealing wall leaves the plate watertight, even if the gasket is removed. Our clear center plates permit observation of controls or gauges and visual inspection without the necessity of removing the center. Deck plates are used for access to shut-off valves or back-fastenings, inspection, and clean out for tanks and compartments. A screw-out plate should be used in compartments where a change in air pressure due to temperature or oil canning can occur.

This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Paint remover poisoning
Pain, lacquer, and varnish removers may contain the following poisonous ingredients:
Paint, lacquer, and varnish removers are sold under various brand names.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. The ultimate outcome depends on the extent of this damage.

I would also like to mention that you can NOT send fanmails to people asking them to look at your TD. I read Jeeve's blog and I decided that any one who does that should have to forfeit their TD. Jeeves blog was about TD's being a popularity contest because people send out fanmails to people asking them to vote for him/her. Here is the blog in case you want to read it.

Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft. But who would have thought that the big carriers would team up with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung and lots of other manufacturers to voluntarily begin adding the technology by July 2015? The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

All 'View' co-hosts will salute Barbara Walters
ABC's "The View" will gather all 11 past and present co-hosts to salute Barbara Walters as she retires from daily television.

Grammy Award-winning rock band Steely Dan will play this year's Illinois State Fair.
State officials made the announcement on Monday afternoon. They say the band will play its "Jamalot Ever After" tour at the fair on Aug. 15. Steely Dan had a string of hits during the 1970s. They won a Grammy in 2000 for Album of the Year.
With $41.4M, 'Captain America' holds off 'Rio 2'
"Captain America" continued to flex its Marvel muscle at the global box office, as "The Winter Soldier" took in $41.4 million domestically and $60.6 million overseas.
The strong second-week performance for the Walt Disney release in North America was enough to narrowly edge 20th Century Fox's "Rio 2" in a springtime battle of sequels. The animated Amazon jungle tale "Rio 2" debuted with $39 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, almost exactly the opening weekend total of the 2011 Oscar-nominated original.
O'Brien: Colbert 'right person' to do 'Late Show'

The funnyman, who has hosted his talk show "Conan" on TBS since 2010, said he believes Stephen Colbert is the "right person" to take over the show from Letterman.

Movie Summary | Infoplease.com
The Metropolitan Opera: Giulio Cesare Encore
Description: The opera that conquered London in Handel's time comes to the Met in David McVicar's inventive production--which triumphed at its Glyndebourne premiere in 2005. The Guardian praised McVicar's --witty, sexy, and tragic post-colonial framing of Handel's Caesar and Cleopatra tale,-- which incorporates elements of Baroque theater and 19th-century British imperialism to illuminate the opera's ideas of love, war, and empire building. The world's leading countertenor, David Daniels, sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay as an irresistibly exotic Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts.

Evans senior Dre Clayton, a 6-6, 236-pound forward who has been one of Central Florida's top post players since ninth grade, signed on Wednesday night to play college basketball for USF.
"I liked all of their coaches. They called me every day," Clayton said. "And the second thing is their playing style. They play uptempo but they can also play the halfcourt offense."
Clayton said he chose the Bulls over USC, UTEP, Murray State, FIU. He was also offered by Temple according to ESPN.
USF is the school where new Evans coach and former Trojans star Chucky Atkins excelled as a college player before embarking on a long NBA career.
Clayton starred as a freshman and sophomore at Evans and was a first team all-state selection for Class 2A state champion Orlando Christian Prep as junior. He averaged 11 points and 7.6 rebounds and shot 55-percent from the field for a balanced OCP squad. .
He said he has dropped 15 pounds in the preseason in an effort to improve his quickness and agility.
Clayton said he will miss Evans' season opener next week due to a groin injury.

So, this is it? The 15th and final Showdown at the Hoedown, or at least at the current location. It's been a great ride, and I agree it may be time to move on. I've managed to attend all but the first Hoedown, and every year I am impressed by not only the level of skating, but the level of community this event brings. It might start with the fact that Eisenberg's Skatepark is a family run park and Miss Vicky, Arlo's mom, is in attendance cheering on the skaters with the rest of us. Whatever it is I want to personally thank everyone who has ever been to a Hoedown be it to skate, watch, or just get drunk in the parking lot – we call it tailgating in Texas – it's been a lot of fun.

The last one is self portrait. Guess whos the guy with beard
I'm not too good with faces, and I've not done much Master studies, but I'll take a guess and say it's Sargent. (He had a beard, right?) hahaha.
Oh man, Rokas, your skin tones I salivate over, and your lighting looks easy on your end.
Is there a personal project that you've got plugging away behind the scenes?
Keep it up mate, I just went through your sb fully, and the progress is there.
I'd just like to think that you're applying them to a full blown project somewhere, which would be nice.

Administrator Brantley Newton said he is excited for the public to see the new amenities the facility has to offer.
"Jacksonville Health and Rehab has always been committed to providing the best care available to our residents," he said. "But in listening to our patients and families, it became apparent there is a great need in our industry for more distinction between long term care residents and short term rehab patients who just need a little therapy before they transition home from a stay in the hospital."
Jacksonville Health and Rehab, located at 410 Wilson St., S. W., offers long term care for residents who can no longer live independently and also provides inpatient rehabilitation services for patients who need physical, occupational or speech therapy before returning home after a hospital stay.
"By separating our short term rehab wing and adding a new entrance specific to the unit, we feel more patients needing rehabilitation will be attracted to the services and amenities we offer," said Newton. "Our industry is catering to a younger, healthier demographic every year, and we are just excited to be able to bring such a needed resource to the Jacksonville community."

Although the author and his wife have been anchored to their last address for the past seventeen years, the theme of this book is to not sink roots. It starts with a day-to-day narrative of travel in Europe while the author enjoyed the thrills and challenges of a year s sabbatical. After a tour of England and Scotland, he explores the continent: France, the BDR (West Germany), the DDR (E. Germany), Czechoslovakia (current Czech Republic), and Poland before settling in for the winter in the town of Rastatt (located in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, not far from the E. bank of the Rhine River). Resuming travel in the spring, he explores Spain and undertakes a brief foray into the North African state of Morocco. France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and Turkey follow. Returning via ferry, stops were made in the coastal towns of Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split-Zadar-Pag), finally covering Slovania with its capital Ljubljana. The next section of the book is another adventure of sorts: designing and building your own dream home. In Owner-Builder, the author recounts the problems he encountered while he acted as his own contractor. Coordinating the various subcontractors to work together to get the job done, he gained experience that convinced him that he would not want to do it again. In the last stories in the book, the author concentrates on moving experiences. Leaving Quail Ridge is about selling his dream home, and Finding Liquid Amber details the adventures of landing at his current domicile in Irvine, California. Stitched together, these stories weave tales of reality that grab your attention like few others.

Or he could just be telling a story that this thread reminded him of, D is not a racist guy. Still, in the interest of balancing things out, I can hand on heart say that any terrible driving I've witnessed in the past has mostly been at the hands of a white male. Damn Caucasian drivers!
Humans behind wheels are mostly badly behaved. It's not just to one type of people in this Earth.
Being an Asian, I don't feel offended by the thread. Everyone can be bad drivers, actually.

I used to own a few CRTs until the flickering made my eyes hurt, and that high-pitch whine annoyed the hell out of me. Only CRTs left in the home are the 29" Wega and the 16" Aiwa ones. They are the decent ones.
The CRTs for the computers varies during my time, it's the Samsung Samtron and the Syncmaster. Honestly, they went busted after a few years.
I'm not concious about a DVD player, we have it at home, but nowadays with that media player box which plays video files from USB flash stick... you know the rest of it!
Front Page News / Re: Day One at E3 2013: Let the Console Wars Begin!« on: June 17, 2013, 07:08:26 AM »
Me too! I fear the the day it goes out and I have to find somebody willing to lug 160 pounds out of a 3rd floor apartment and all the way to Ewaste.
I don't know what to do with mine if it went busted. I keep hoping it won't, so that I don't have to drag these thing to the junkyard. Honestly, it's heavier than me!
What's wrong with CRTs? My PC has CRT and it produces black which is better than all my LCDs. LCD sucks as a technology.
The colours went washed out on the CRT. It's been more than 10 years already I have these and it becomes quite blurry. Some of my older CRTs have the very high pitch whine and the flickering which can be very annoying.
However, talking about LCD, even my 6-year old Samsung LCD colors get washed out. It can't be fixed anymore, so I have to live with it.
OLED, at another topic, is quite dangerous especially in tropics like where I'm living. Two (2) of my Creative MP3 players have these OLED panels which gets discoloured and then broken down and I do not have replacements for these anymore. Therefore, on my desk is these useless pieces of shit. I barely own them for just 1 1/2 years after purchase and I felt that it's made to commit suicide after 1 year. Daaaamn.

I tried to like the new start menu, so far I don't dig it, even on a touch based device. I like synergy across platforms, right now I used Android for phone, and Google's services like Gmail, Drive, Calendar ect. I'd actually kinda like to have it all Windows based as I will always need Windows for various programs, and having a x86 based tablet I could run them all on would be sweet. But I'm less than convinced with Windows 8 so far, Windows phone ect, so I'll not be making the jump anytime soon.
Those tiles work when you have a touch screen. Many case when I see tiles in laptops with Win8 I have a compulsion to touch them, but they don't work that way because there's no touch sensors. Some desktops have touch screens, so Win8 is ideal on these.
The most difficult thing about these 'apps' or 'tiles' is, everytime you launch them, it pushes you away from the desktop. You have to reach back the desktop after you are done with the app, or you have something else to do in the meantime, like answering emails.
Other than that, the Win8 is surprisingly stable. I expected a BSOD, but didn't get any (knocks on wood) when I get that upgrade from a very old laptop which bought in 2009.
I might get myself a Lumia soon, but I heard a lot of not so good reviews all over. The newer Lumias are with dual-cores and more RAM, so these might change.

I liked OpenOffice but the thing about the formatting, the margins and stuff are not easy to handle, unlike Word series. They kept running a lot away! Plus, I'm too used to the Math toolbox on the Word, it would be much tougher to do it on OpenOffice since I had to key in equations and stuff.
General / Re: Is windows 8 gamer-friendly?« on: April 21, 2013, 09:10:26 AM »
I never tried it. Reason is simple: my notebook has shitty graphics adapter inside.
I have another desktop but I just refused to install W8 inside due to the amount of software I have to reactivate again and have anxiety whether my graphics card will work in W8 or not. Not gonna try it though.

Taffeta A Line Gown with Illusion Lace Neckline Style WG3529 6 6
Very flattering As someone who doesn't have much of a waist or curves, I found it harder than I initially thought to find a dress that flattered my body type. As soon as I put this dress on, I loved it. It gave me shape and cinched in at the waist, creating a nicer figure. The lace illusion neckline is very elegant, and I find the dress quite modest and beautiful. I have sensitive skin and the lace around the neck does irritate it a bit. I am hoping to be somewhat tanned by my wedding so hopefully there won't be any redness noticeable on my arms and neck. The taffeta material creases and wrinkles quite easily, I find. I personally think the dress could do with a little lace trim along the bottom edge, but even without, the dress is quite stunning. March 26, 2014
Said Yes to this dress! Loved it online and loved it in the store! The lace is so beautiful and comfortable. I love that I won't have to wear any "suck me in" under garments. The cups are a little awkward so that needs some help. I also had to have the straps in the back fixed because they didn't lay properly. If you're 5'3" there's no need to change the length of the petite size, it's perfect! March 17, 2014
Love the Waist! I tried this dress on the other day. The only thing I did not like about it was the top lace over the collar. It was a little itchy and I felt constricted. My collar bone is one thing I like to accent so it covered it up. But...I love the way the waist hugged my body, I felt really slim. Can anyone tell me, is this an empire or natural waist?

beautiful dress easy to wear this dress, well choose the petticoat. September 22, 2013

It isn't often that a Grammy-winning professional soloist takes second billing to an amateur on the same orchestral program. But, then again, Al Jarreau usually doesn't share billing with a former U.S. secretary of state.
So, with apologies to Jarreau fans, thoughts on his portion of Friday night's annual Omaha Symphony Gala concert will appear on the next page. The true musical "headliner" was guest pianist Condoleezza Rice, who envisioned quite a different life in her youth than the one in which she became the first African-American woman to serve as the nation's top diplomat.
Had she not changed career paths, however, Rice may never have had the chance to accompany famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma, as she did in Washington, D.C., in 2002 when she was national security adviser.
So when she took the Holland Performing Arts Center stage to perform the first movement of Robert Schumann's "Piano Concerto in A minor," Rice — who entered Denver University intending a classical piano career — brought some reputable credentials with her.
She did well. No, she won't be confused with the fiery piano virtuosos who typically visit the Holland. But Rice was as poised and polished on the concert stage Friday night as she long has been on the world stage. She played with confidence, technical accuracy, fine dynamic control and a restrained but honest expressiveness — all highly suitable for the Schumann concerto, a staple of the early Romantic piano repertoire.
Music Director Thomas Wilkins welcomed Rice to the stage after leading the symphony through a joyous, boisterous rendition of Dmitri Shostakovich's "Festive Overture." The ensemble, by contrast, notably dialed down its volume behind Rice. The effect, however, showcased Rice's skills to her advantage while enhancing the teamwork of the performance.
She certainly seemed to enjoy herself. While President George W. Bush's secretary of state, Rice would join four like-minded amateur string players — lawyers all — to perform chamber-music works in private Washington residences. As she told the New York Times in 2006, she had let her music slide for years but resumed lessons in the 1990s. Playing piano, she said then, is "the time I'm most away from myself, and I treasure it."
Some people question why schools devote time and resources to teaching the performing arts when so few students will ever make money at it. In sharing her musical gifts with Omaha Friday night, Rice testified to the power of the arts to heal the soul and to make unforgettable memories with the people on both sides of a stage.
Now, back to Jarreau, whose nine-song set made up Friday's second act. Now 73, he retains an impressively broad vocal range, sharply honed skills in scat and vocalese singing and an infectious stage presence. Age, sadly, has replaced his once-luscious vocal resonance with raspiness. But to put the matter in baseball terms, he compensates for a slower fastball by stressing his other pitches. And they're usually more than enough.
Jarreau had his best vocal moments in applying a smooth jazz approach to two Gershwin hits from "Porgy and Bess" and imitating a wild alto saxophone on the immortal Paul Desmond-Dave Brubeck hit "Take Five." His 1970s pop chart-toppers, however, seemed to backfire — because his guitarist and much younger backup singer, Chris Walker, sounds too much like Jarreau used to sound.

As a result of successful mergers with German firms, Freshfields
Bruckhaus Deringer reigns as the Magic Circle's "most European" law
firm. In 2008, it was the third-largest firm in the world by
revenue, according to The American Lawyer's Global 100. A
multifaceted practice encompasses antitrust, international
corporate work, finance, dispute resolution, real estate, tax and
intellectual property. And extra credit for the logo-a
spear-wielding angel. Now that's moral certitude.
Established in 1743, Freshfields just might be the oldest
international law firm in the world. In the 18th century, the
Freshfields family served as solicitors to the Bank of England,
while the Industrial Revolution engendered a formidable corporate
practice. Though pedigreed, prestigious and profitable, until the
last decade Freshfields remained a relatively small outfit whose
growth had followed a predictable pattern. With the deregulation of
London's financial markets in 1986 came an emphasis on
transactional work, leading to the firm's upsurge in the 1980s. In
the 1990s, Freshfields undertook massive global expansion,
launching in Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai and Washington DC. The dawn
of the new millennium saw integration with two of Germany's top
houses, Bruckhaus Westrick Heller Löber and Deringer Tessin
Herrmann & Sedemund. The result was a pan-European behemoth,
numbering 2,500 lawyers and 27 locations. Significantly,
Freshfields is also the only Magic Circle firm operating as an
all-equity partnership.
Among the post-merger transformations was a major shift in
structure, with senior roles split between English and German
partners. Despite the Continental shift and the division of power,
the firm managed to maintain its UK prominence. Historic matters
include successfully partnering with US heavyweight Cravath, Swaine
& Moore in 2007 to help the London Stock Exchange fend off a
second hostile takeover attempt by US exchange Nasdaq. In 2008, the
firm converted to limited liability partnership status and, despite
the global financial slump, managed to take home the "M&A Team
of the Year" Award at the British Legal Awards.
Freshfields is one of the few UK firms to maintain two US
offices (New York and Washington DC), both established more than 10
years ago. And while Freshfields' European brot und butter is
M&A, stateside the game is finance and antitrust-and now
litigation. In January 2009, Freshfields launched a US litigation
practice with the addition of three litigation partners in New
York, all of whom are former federal prosecutors. The new group
will focus on SEC enforcement, federal criminal investigations and
complex securities litigation.
While many firms are only in the last decade discovering the
Asian market, Freshfields is, to recycle a phrase from the Empire,
"an old Asia hand". The firm has been active in Vietnam and China
for more than 25 years, sustaining offices in seven Asian cities.
Among recent matters, Freshfields acted on the merger of Morgan
Stanley and Mitsubishi IFJ Financial Group's securities units in
2009, a union that forms the third-largest brokerage in Japan. The
firm also advised Nomura Holdings as the Japanese financial holding
company bought up Lehman Brothers' investment banking operations in
Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. The firm's work on the
Nomura/Lehman deal helped it pick up an award for "Restructuring
Deal of the Year" at the 2009 International Financial Law
Review Asia Awards. At the same ceremony, Freshfields also
took home the title of "China Practice Team of the Year".
In recent years, the firm has also poured resources into the
Middle East and the Maghreb, obtaining a licence to practise in the
UAE in 2005 and Bahrain in 2007. Additionally, Freshfields is one
of a few foreign firms authorised to advise clients directly in
Saudi Arabia.
While Freshfields may be best known for its corporate practice,
it can also hold its own in the courtroom. The firm recently helped
client Barclays Bank obtain a gag order against The
Guardian in connection with a dispute over the publication of
internal bank documents outlining details of an alleged tax
avoidance scheme; in March 2009, the High Court refused to overturn
the temporary injunction.
On the finance side, the firm's Frankfurt office advised Porsche
on a €10 billion loan refinancing in 2009. Porsche is among the
German arm's most important clients. The firm helped the automaker
on an €35 billion refinancing in 2007 and is currently advising on
Porsche's proposed merger with Volkswagen. Other 2009 mandates in
the German auto market include advising Daimler on the sale of $2.7
billion in shares to Middle Eastern investor Aabar Investments. The
sale gave Aabar a 9 per cent stake in Daimler, making it the
company's biggest shareholder.
Reacting to rising demand in southern Germany, in March 2009,
Freshfields added 15 new lawyers to its Munich office, including
four partners from its Frankfurt base, to meet an increased need
for corporate finance, restructuring and insurance services. The
increase marked a rise in headcount of around 50 per cent.
In Freshfields' latest round of partner promotions announced in
2009, 14 new associates were given the nod, a noticeable drop from
the previous year's 25 promotions. In addition to making up fewer
new partners, the firm has taken other steps to trim costs in the
wake of the credit crunch. Freshfields was the first Magic Circle
firm to make redundancies, laying off a small number of associates
in its London real estate group in September 2008-though it has so
far avoided the more far-reaching job cuts that have hit its City
rivals. In February 2009, the firm froze associate salary bands at
current levels until 2010 and reduced pay for newly qualified
Freshfields is a progressive in the nascent legal corporate
social responsibility (CSR) movement. The firm maintains that it is
the only major international law firm to produce an externally
assured CSR report, in alignment with AA1000 international
assurance standards and Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. The
report covers all of the firm's global offices, tracking community
and pro bono data, as well as carbon footprint. Freshfields' CSR
and pro bono efforts have won the firm a host of plaudits,
including Legal Business' "CSR Programme of the Year" 2009
and IFLR's 2008 European Pro Bono Award.
Freshfields is already a winner in the London 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic Games. In February 2009, the firm was appointed official
legal services provider to the London Organising Committee of the
Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG). Freshfields worked pro
bono on London's bid from September 2003 until the city was awarded
the Games in June 2006. The firm continued working on various
projects for LOCOG and associated bodies following the winning bid
and is now advising on a host of issues through a combination of
secondees and Freshfields' staff.
